The Norfolk Admirals completed a two-game weekend sweep of Bridgeport in thrilling fashion, winning 3-2 in an overtime shootout before a season-high crowd of 6,050 at Scope.

Devante Pelly-Smith tied the game by scoring with 46 seconds left in regulation. Pelly-Smith took a shot off a rebound of Alex Grant's shot. The puck hit goalie Anders Nilsson, leaked out behind him and inched across the goal line.

Admirals goalie John Gibson, who made 30 saves during 65 minutes of play, saved four of five shots by the Sound Tigers in the tiebreaker.

Norfolk's Jesse Blacker and Max Friberg netted a shootout goal each.

The Admirals (18-12-1-4) are the top farm club of the Anaheim Ducks, while the Sound Tigers (13-18-1-4) are the AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders.
